In a way, yes.

One was doing his job. And it worked. He did it for the team.

The other did it for himself. Selfish. He never whined stating how hard it was for Jagr to score, or anyone else on the team. He never threatened to retire because the clutch and grab affected others...it was all about himself.

You might excuse that difference because of being a pens fan. I don't excuse it and I am a fan of the pens, plus a fan of both players.
